MUsCLR-PoRMnSo FOODS.


The food eaten by animals must be
rich In nutIiment--that is, calculated
70 build up the frame--and II should
be 50 proportional as TO properly nour-
ish all parts OF the animal economy In
proper degree, else there is waste.
When the animal has reached Its full
degree Of muscular development more
Indian corn may be allowed, and
where Indian corn is cheap, as It is in
the west, it forms an excellent food in
equal proportions by weight with bran,
II a little oil-meal Is added. Upon the
question of food the Farmers Maya
zine lately printed an article from
which the following Is taken:
The need of our working animals is
not so much fat forming foods as bone
and muscle making. For fat forming
no food is better than corn, but to give
bone and muscle with which to do the
work of the farm or the road some
thing that will make bone and muscle
is required. At the head of all these
foods stands oil-meal, with from 20 to
30 per cent of bone and muscle form
ing food. Following this are oats, 25
per cent; beans, % per cent; peas, 22
per cent; rye and barley, IL to Is per
cent. Bran has from Is to 25 per cent,
and middlings about 10. 0il-meal, on
account of its richness insmuscle food
and its medicinal qualities, is an ex-
cellent food, but its cost puts it out Of
reach, and other foods may be used at
less cost, and therefore with greater
profit than the oil-meal. Bran and
middlings can often be purchased at a
low price, and it is therefore better to
feed them than oil-meal, though some
oil-meal will always be an advantage
to the stock. The waste products of
the mill, it will be thus seen, make a
very valuable food in making bone and
muscle. OF the grain, oats stand at
the head, and in general use no other
food can take its place, but where prac-
ticable the mill products will be found
advantageous. Where the cost is no
greater, the oil-meal is the best food,
but if the proportional cost is too much
it will be better to feed the cheaper
foods, Corn, while valuable food in
it's place, is not, on account of its lack
of muscle-forming elements and its
large percentage of fatforming ele-
ments, good food for working ami
mails, especially in the working season
on the farm. An advantage of oil
meal which ought not to be overlooked
is its medicinal quality, which gives it
a value which the other foods do not
have, There is enough oil in the meal
TO prevent constipation, even when dry
foods are used.

BUCKWHEAT AS A

BUCKwHEAT AS A CROP AND A FOOD,
Buekwheat is crop which few good
farmers like to SOW unless they can
rent piece of land for this purpose
1t is impossible to grow small grain
crop after it the following season with.
out having mixture of seeds. Fol-
this reason its culture is more and
more restricted as farmers learn to be
more careful in keeping their land free
from foul weeds. 1t is surprise to
many where the supplies of buckwheat
-four come from. What is grown is
made the most of. and much that ia
sold in cities is adulterated with coarse
wheat -four or canaille, which is often
ground with the buckwheat to insure
more thorough mixture. Most of the
extensive smillers in cities and large
villages refuse to grind buckwheat for
customers. They will change it, Civ
ing in return mixture of buckwheat
and wheat flour, lighter in color and
finer than the genuine article.
BY the improved process of hulling
more of the buckwheat flour is got out
of the grain and none of the hull goes
into the -four, as it used to do under
the. old process. 1t is quite likely that
this buckwheat huh in the -four was
the irritating substance that caused
buckwheat cakes to produce prickly
rashes in the skin Of those eating them
through the winter. The buckwheat
flour sold in markets nowadays will
not produce this effect, possibly be-
cause in many cases there is so little
buckwheat in it. But the old process
unadulterated -four was to most per-
sons more palatable, and probably also
more digestible, than that sold for
bnckwheat -four now.
In making pancakes of any kind it
Is better to have some part of the flour
coarsely ground to help digestion.
Pancakes are less likely than any other
food to be thoroughly chewed, and
thus fail to have mixed with them in
the stomach due proportion of saliva.
Hence If any one is TO be out of doors
on a cold day, with little chance of eat
ing much before night, pancake
breakfast will stand by him better than
almost any other kind of food.
Buckwheat is quito reasonable in
price, and even without adulteration il
pays better to market it as flour than
as grain. Farmers who have a crop
should take it to some country mill
where they can get it ground by the
old-fashiOned process. This will give
them perhaps twenty-one or twenty
two pounds for each bushel of forty
eight to fifty pounds of grain. BY hull
ing the buckwheat twenty-six or twen-
ty-eight pounds of flour can be got
from a bushel of grain, but the feed
will be of little account, more Initiative
than nutritious.
The old-fashioned buclIwheat bran is
excellent feed for milch cows, as it is
very stimulating to milk production.
In many families where the old-fash-
Toned buckwheat -four Is used the finer
portions of the middings are sifted and
mixed with 1t as a measure both Of
economy and healthfulness. II good
